  1. Re:UTSA and other considerations on EFF Joins Fight Against Apple Lawsuit · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Who ever signed the NDA and ignores it is subject to the penalties in the NDA.
    An NDA is just a contract like any other.
    No laws are broken but you can be sued using this contract.(FYI:IANAL)

    In this case Think Secret is a 4th party and is NOT subject to the NDA.
    This is an "Apple leaking info" problem.
    Not a "Think Secret just so happen to receive Apple's info" problem.

    If Apple wants to "out" the leaks they should create "special projects" and place their suspects in that project.
    Then watch the Think Secret web site...

  2. But nLite is Free! on Inside Windows XP Reduced Media Edition · · Score: 1

    The difference if that nLite helps you to create an installation CD that can't install what you don't want. It even helps you tweak it.

  4. Sounds like MS Passport v2.0! on Bill Gates Talks about Belgian eID Card · · Score: 2, Funny

    Now user in belgium will effectively have MS passport in physical form.

    In Canada, Businesses are forbidden to use SIN#s for tracking purposes and this is not that different. Maybe if it works there, he'll be able to use the US' ID cards the same way.
    Oh and patent the fuck out of it, too.

    I guess weather balloons don't count. And if they can't reach that high I'm sure a fly-by with the space Shuttle dragging a long hose would work.

    Remember, if it's SO important, they could find a way to deliver the Ozone.
    After all, we did land on the moon 25 years ago, right?

    Then one day, the ??AA lost a court case against one of its customers because of the levy.
    The Customer's lawyer said that the ??AA wanted it both ways:
    -tax the people just in case they pirate but don't get caught

  15. Re:Firefox Search Plugins on Windows OSS Only For Administrators? · · Score: 1

    The reason why is that otherwise every user would need to have their plugins installed on a per-user basis. Each new user would need to have all their pluging installed. Drive space is wasted too for duplicate files.

    We had a plugin that put its temp files in sub folder of system32! We complained and the next version of the plugin install 95% of the plugin in the user profiles and the temp files also endded up in user profiles too.

    It will take time but users must complain LOUDLY to the MFR for these changes.

  22. What if MGM wins their legal case... on Sought for MGM v. Grokster: Non-Infringing P2P Use · · Score: 1

    -This would make P2p illegal and probably a host of similar software.
    -USA would then be compared to China in anal retention.

    Then one of 2 things will happen:
    -All the fun (and illegal) things in computers would not happen in the USA. Patents will also drive interesting stuff away too. USA would have to buy all good tech stuff from outside the country, eventhough it would illegal. Joe consumer would either leave the country (if he can afford it) or join some militia for civil war.
    -Congress smartens-up and fixes the copywrong and patents laws so that innovation stays in the USA. The US might fall a bit from grace but not flat on its face. Alas this won't happen: too much greed in the US government today.

  23. But they already pay for 2 Windows Licenses! on Firefox New York Times Ad Hits the Presses · · Score: 1

    When big businesses buy a PC or Laptop,
    they must buy OEM-Pre-loaded copy of Windows (Activation BS included)
    Then they blank the HD and install their Corporate Image of Windows

    They then pay M$ for each Volume License they use
    and, of course, they don't get refunded for the OEM copy they had to buy to get the hardware.

    So, 2 licenses for every PC!!

  24. Re:needs inforcement on ICANN Approves Two More Top-Level Domains · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The problem is that Monster.com is both a commercial enterprise and a job site. So which do you pick?
    Monster.jobs of course!
    The practical reason why you would want more TLDs is to help people find stuff and offload the .COM TLD.
    To make this work you would have to stop using the .COM addresses for sites that should use the new TLDs.
    Problem: Lawyers will prevent that.
    Even the pr0n sites would want to keep their .COM addresses so that they can get customers where the .xxx TLD would be banned.

    The whole thing is pointless unless you remove the lawyers from the process.
